Over all I loved Benham's Grove, the location is beautiful and the women who work there are fabulous. BUT I had some big issues the day of with them. The man who was my 'planner' for the day of wasn't great. I'd never met him, he never introduced himself the day of, he wasn't very helpful, and he was rude to my bridesmaids and guests. The other HUGE issue I had and want to warn people about is the grass there... if you are having your reception there by June and July the grass is gone under the tent and its all dirt. They promised me it wouldn't be a big deal the day of and it was almost a disaster. It rained before my ceremony and the dirt that was under the tent AND around it turned to mud. They told me they were going to put stuff down the week before so it wouldn't cause a problem - but they did not. So 30 minutes before the ceremony my family ran out to Home depot to buy bags of mulch to put all around it to soak up the mud. Benham's grove never offered to do that or even really help. They told me they were going to get a patio down so they wouldn't have that problem. They never did. Until they do, I wouldn't book with them.

Now with that complaining out - its still a very pretty place. They keep the grounds pretty, the landscape is pretty, and the house is awesome. My guests loved it and didn't know all the hassle that we had. The gazebo makes a gorgeous setting for a ceremony too!
